26. So where are you going [21]?

[21] That is, the one who brings this Quran is Jibreel Amin (the Trustworthy Angel Gabriel), and the one who conveys it to the people is the Trustworthy Messenger. Because of these two trustworthy personalities, all possibilities of falsehood, admixture of untruth, envy, doubt, and suspicion, superstition, and madness in this Quran are eliminated. Nor can it be the speech of a soothsayer or a devil. So after all these things, what remains except truth and reality? Then, after leaving this clear and bright path, where else are you wandering?
